Day 36 - Timna to camp ground 15kms from Eilat.



We woke up early, left most of our stuff at the campsite and walked back over Timna Mountain to the entrance of the park. It was a steep climb but the varied coloured rock formations made it quite spectacular.

We got a lift back to the camp ground and rested there until after 3pm before setting off again to find somewhere to sleep on our final night.



After a long walk through a wadi and up onto a plateau, we found a great place under a tree.



We all went to sleep not expecting what was about to happen. It started slowly and we thought it may pass, but soon the rain was falling heavily. Our final night in the desert was proving to be a test in itself, especially as Jeremy was sleeping outside and my tent isn’t waterproof.
